Oct 23d
My dear Horace.
Many thanks for all the many things which you have done for me & for your ship-shape account,— all as clear as daylight.— I hope you have charged me enough for all your own affairs.— The tank is a heavy expense, & there will be so much the less to divide amongst you all at the end of January or beginning of February, & this seems rather to please Frank.—1
How happy you will be my dear old fellow on Saturday.—2
Your affect | C. Darwin
